[ux] Firefox Add-on for torrc functions of Tor Browser

[q]

Hi Alessandro,
I am on the mailinglist and I want to answer to your work / your offer.
I will not add this addon becauser in the past there has been always advice not to add any addons on torbrowser and I am no programmer so I trust in such advice. Greetings.
